Before experimental drugs can be brought to market, they must undergo many rigorous trials to ensure they deliver their medical

benefits effectively and safely. One method commonly used in this process is to compare the effect of a drug with that of a placebo in double-blind tests. Which of the following correctly describes a double-blind test?
a. The researchers apply two-layered blindfolds to the study participants so that they cannot see whether they are receiving the drug or a placebo.
b. Neither the researchers nor the study participants know who is receiving the drug and who is receiving the placebo.
c. The researchers know who is receiving the drug and who is receiving the placebo, but they do not know what the supposed effects of the drug should be.
d. The researchers do not know who receives the drug or the placebo, but the participants know and tell them later.
e. None of the above is correct.

Answer:

b. Neither the researchers nor the study participants know who is receiving the drug and who is receiving the placebo.

Explanation:

In a double-blind test, there are two groups of participants: (1) people who are receiving the new drug and (2) people who are taking a placebo. Neither people from group (1) nor people from group (2) know what they are taking. Also, researchers recollect data from theses groups without knowing which person belongs to each group to avoid any "favoritism" caused by expected results.

What additional evidence gas emerged since the publication of darwins book to support the close evolutionary relationship betwee
Alexus [3.1K]
Implications of natural selection in shaping 99.4% nonsynonymous DNA identity between humans and chimpanzees: enlarging genus Homo. we compare approximately 90 kb of coding DNA nucleotide sequence from 97 human genes to their sequenced chimpanzee counterparts and to available sequenced gorilla, orangutan, and Old World monkey counterparts, and, on a more limited basis, to mouse. The nonsynonymous changes (functionally important), like synonymous changes (functionally much less important), show chimpanzees and humans to be most closely related, sharing 99.4% identity at nonsynonymous sites and 98.4% at synonymous sites. On a time scale, the coding DNA divergencies separate the human-chimpanzee clade from the gorilla clade at between 6 and 7 million years ago and place the most recent common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees at between 5 and 6 million years ago. The evolutionary rate of coding DNA in the catarrhine clade (Old World monkey and ape, including human) is much slower than in the lineage to mouse. Among the genes examined, 30 show evidence of positive selection during descent of catarrhines. Nonsynonymous substitutions by themselves, in this subset of positively selected genes, group humans and chimpanzees closest to each other and have chimpanzees diverge about as much from the common human-chimpanzee ancestor as humans do. This functional DNA evidence supports two previously offered taxonomic proposals: family Hominidae should include all extant apes; and genus Homo should include three extant species and two subgenera, Homo (Homo) sapiens (humankind), Homo (Pan) troglodytes (common chimpanzee), and Homo (Pan) paniscus (bonobo chimpanzee).

Whitepunk [10]

The supplement being taken is Vitamin K in this type of scenario.

<h3>What is Vitamin K?</h3>

This is a type of vitamin which is responsible for the clotting of blood and healing of injuries in the body.

This is achieved by coagulation of the blood to stop bleeding however since the patient has blood clots and takes anti-coagulation medication it is best to avoid vitamin K.
